Is the Bush administration and Animal Farm mirror images?
I just got done reading Animal Farm and it was really depressing. As I read the book I thought of the similarities between the book and the Bush admin. I see Napoleon as cheney and bush and fox news as Squealer. The "low information" voters remind me of the sheep and how the pigs used jones as bush uses terrorism(using fear of something returning to explain your actions). Finally I think snowball is like the Democrats and liberals because they are blamed for things they had nothing to do with and are silenced by the masses (sheep)and barking dogs(the media) Am I wrong in thinking this?

3. Yes. Except that some "Democrats" had some shit to do with enslaving
the rest of us, other Democrats didn't, but ALL Republicons do, because that is their essential mindset.
